YOP Update October 14th

I’ve come to realize that this year’s list is more a list of suggested knitting than what I will actually accomplish. I’ve made more changes to the list again. But this time instead of just adding things, I have decided to frog two items. Two pairs of socks are gone. One because I truly don’t have time to decipher the chart and the other because they have been on the needles for a ridiculous amount of time and have been plagued with problems since the start. At this point I would rather reclaim the yarn and use it for a different pair of socks that will work better for me. Two projects have been added in place of the frogged ones so the overall numbers haven’t changed. I hope that the added projects that will suit my knitting time better and stand a far better chance of being completed. (I’ve added a pair of socks and a scarf).

Speaking of finishes, the Diva Mitts are finished and when the final touches are put on the second mitt I will take pictures and share then with you. (It still needs some ends woven in and a button added). And, I am nine rounds away from finishing the Turnagain Cowl. Depending on how my assignments go today I may be able to finish the knitting part of it. There is still ends to weave and sewing to do so it won’t be a “finished object’ just yet, but it’s getting pretty close.

Also, I have decided that my knitted socks are now conspiring against me. The darning from a couple of weeks ago is still going strong, but now its mate has sprung a hole and requires my attention. That little discovery was greeted with a rather large amount of under my breath unlady like language. But, I know I can fix it and I think I need to research ways to reinforce the toes on my socks to keep this from happening again in the future.

Hope everyone else has had a great knitting week and I am hoping to drop by your blogs soon.

Maybe the socks are rebelling because you destroyed their brothers? though I do think you made the right choice to frog, sometimes things will just never get finished. And looking forward to seeing the mitts!

I think there are some sock yarns that come with reinforcing thread that you carry along with the yarn when doing the heels and toes, to help with the hole problem – maybe that would help? I think Jawoll might do that.

Just thought I’d let you know a happy little fun box arrived in my mailbox yesterday! And i’ve already knit one of your yarns into my blanket! It was inspiration to bust out my EBI for a little mindless knitting when everything else OTN needs actual brain power I’m not ready to give it just yet!
